Here is a trick question. Im still breaking my teeth on the nagios/nagvis system and I am doing pretty well, but I recently came across a question I do not have an answer for. :

Is there any way to show a hostgroup being status OK unless all memebers are critical?

Backstory: I wanted to make some of our "dumb switches" smart by showing them as OK (because you would see the hosts connected to them with ping) unless all the hosts in the host group went critical with ping no reply.

I tried experimenting inside of nagios but it appears the host group will instantly go critical when just one of the member's stop responding. Is there any way around this?
I can provide any information needed to help sort this out.
